Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Largest house in France, founded 1743 by Claude Moët: Rose, blend of 43% Pinot Noir, 42% Chardonnay, & 15% Meunier, aged 6 months on lees. Following a stormy winter, wet spring and dry summer, surprisingly the wine has great balance. Medium salmon color with aromas of sweet red fruits with notes of floral and bread toast. On the palate flavors of strawberry and raspberry with spice, biscuit and floral notes. Great balance, ok bubble flow and light mousse, lively acidity, medium finish ending with fruit, floral and toasty mineral tones. — a day ago

Plummy, blackberry, dried currants, mulberry, lavender, cedar, tobacco and smoke.
Smoky graphite and mineral opening with fully integrated tannins and overall cohesion. Lovely floral and berry mix with mulberry, cassis and currant, lavender, rose, and violet. Strong showing on a 38 year old wine.

Rainy afternoon change of plans. Delicate, faint pom and strawberry, lemon curd. Flavors were overmatched but the cold bubbles were very refreshing. — 4 years ago

Nice finish with limes and almonds.

This is a very tasty Rosé Champagne. Rich and complex. Nicely balanced and easy drinking right out of the bottle.

A small portion of Pinot Noir (which makes up approximately 80% of the blend) still wine is added for color; the balance is Chardonnay. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The Grand Rosé pours a pretty pink color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of raspberry, red apple, a mix of orchard citrus fruit, marzipan, a hint of brioche and lovely minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and round. Very easy to like. Drink now. Disgorged February of 2025. — 6 months ago

Very young. Still somewhat unstructured and tannins that need to mellow. But good potential. — 2 years ago

Consistently great value grower pink bubbles. Very crisp and mineral, a bit austere at this point, a lot of the sumptuous fruit has faded to leave chalk, some cranberry, and red grapefruit peel and pith.

Disgorged 2019, base 2015 wine. — 4 years ago

9.4

Exquisite and impressive. Firm color loaded with kirsch, red and dark currant flavors and the presence of horse sweat, horse blanket and leather. Even a red rose aroma. Tannin is light and impressively balanced. Holds its presence two hours plus decanted. With soft tannins that eventually fell into the glass. I predict this wine would hold well 15-20 years — 6 years ago

I love Rosè from Bandol! Combination of Grenache, Mourvedre, and Cinsault lends to a bit of richness. Nice salinity. Herbs, raspberries, cantaloupe, and slate. Presents with a nice "your tongue is stuck" to the roof of your mouth finish. Really enjoyable for under $15! — 2 months ago

The nose is profoundly layered and regal: cedar chest, humid tobacco, graphite, and dried rose petals, unfolding slowly into red currant, black tea, sandalwood, and the faintest whisper of truffle and old parchment. It’s not about intensity; it’s about dimension…

On the palate, it is seamless and sovereign. Red and black fruits are fully resolved into essence rather than flavor; currant, cherry skin, a touch of plum; all wrapped in polished leather and earth. The tannins have dissolved into silk, the acidity remains statuesque, and the finish lingers with a calm, noble persistence that feels endless rather than long.

Chateau Margaux at its absolute summit: complete, composed, and eternal; power expressed through grace, and grace sharpened by the patience of time. Do drink now. — 9 months ago

Nose has plum peel, ripe crushed raspberry, dehydrated strawberry, cold hotel biscuits, fresh almonds and distant dried grapefruit rind.

Palate has dried raspberries, ripe red currant, dried tangerine, dried strawberries and moist chalk with medium finish.

We have all sorts of odd bottles in our cellar, many single, experimental iterations such a this. Not in the least disappointed for this showing today.

We like rosé a lot, and this one is a good one. Mostly red berries and cherries on the nose, rich and bold, fine bubbles, perhaps lacking a bit of nuance. Excellent with or without food. — 5 years ago
